Scandal judgment: police officer persecuted and injured cyclists - process in court
according to a report by www.berliner-zeitung.de ,
A police officer in civilian clothes caused an accident with a cyclist after having mobbed the officer on the bicycle strip because of false parking.
The participants met in court where the official denied that they had deliberately brought about the accident. The cyclist suffered a bruise on the thigh and psychological impairments, as well as damage of 500 euros on his bike.
The judge sentenced the police to 140 daily rates of 100 euros and a driving ban of six months due to a dangerous interference in road traffic in the act of assault. The public prosecutor had asked 180 daily rates and the withdrawal of the driver's license.
As a citizen of Berlin, I am concerned about this behavior of a police officer. It is worrying to hear that an official in civilian clothing is involved in such an incident. The incident occurred on Budapester Straße, a busy street in Berlin, which illustrates the potential danger for other road users.
It is important that civil servants, especially in civilian clothing, act appropriately and do not apply excessive violence. This incident could shake the trust of the citizens into the police and illustrates the importance of adequate training and monitoring police officers, especially during the deployment in civilian clothing. As a citizen, we should feel safe, both in dealing with the police and in general road traffic. This incident throws a serious light on the need for consequences and responsibility for misconduct by police officers.
It is important that those responsible take the concerns of the citizens seriously and ensure that police officers are appropriately trained and monitored to ensure the security and trust of citizens.
